This isn't related to the total number of files you have to backup, or the size of your backup, it is related to the unreliable nature of USB. I can go into great detail, but the summary is if you have many drives (like 6 or 8 or more drives) attached by USB I can't say we can get it working. Backblaze is the world's most simple program, and totally transparent, and it's trivial to understand what is going on.īut if you have many external drives, there is an issue that plagues Backblaze (and all programs) when you have more than that many 'volumes' (also known as 'drives' or 'SSDs'). The next thing to know is that if you have a total of 3 drives or less (including your boot drive) we can get to the bottom of this quickly, I swear. This probably won't fix your problem, but it cannot hurt and it replaces the executables with the latest versions and the logs then line up with our source code.

I have no idea why but Backblaze is not backing up all HDDs for several weeksįirst of all, before doing anything else, go to and download and install the latest version of Backblaze over the top of whatever you have already.

I also wrote the code that pops up the 'This drive has not been backed up in days.' Disclaimer: I work at Backblaze so you should keep me honest.
